Simple Interest Example Interest rates are most commonly expressed as annual interest rates. EXAMPLE 1. Calculate the simple interest earned in one year on a deposit of $1000 if the annual interest rate is 5%.
CHECK YOUR PROGRESS Calculate the simple interest earned in one year on a deposit of $500 if the annual interest rate is 4%.
Example 2 Calculate the simple interest due on a three-month loan of $2000 if the annual interest rate is 6.5%. CHECK YOUR PROGRESS Calculate the simple interest due on a four-month of $1500 if the interest rate is 5.25%.

Example 5 Calculate the Simple Interest Rate The simple interest charged on a six-month loan of $3000 is $150. Find the simple annual interest rate.
Future or Maturity Value The future or maturity value formula for simple interest is A = P + I Where A is the total amount after the interest, I, has been added to the principal, P. EXAMPLE 6 Calculate a Maturity Value Calculate the maturity value of a simple interest, eight-month loan of $8000 if the annual interest rate is 9.75%.
Example 7 Calculate the maturity value of a simple interest, three-month loan of $3800. The annual interest rate is 6%. CHECK YOUR PROGRESS Calculate the maturity value of a simple interest, one-year loan of $6700. The interest rate is 8.9%.
